Cell phone users call ) INTRODUCTION 1. The provisions of the Foothill-De Anza (FHDA) Community College District PARKING AND TRAFFIC REGULATIONS, hereinafter referred to as REGULATIONS, are adopted for the purpose of promoting the safe and orderly movement of traffic within the boundaries of the Foothill and De Anza College campuses, and for the comprehensive implementation and operation of the mandatory parking fee program. 2. All of the provisions of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) are expressly applicable to all traffic upon the driveways, paths, parking facilities and grounds of the abovedescribed campuses. 3. It is the responsibility of all persons who enter on the District campuses to become familiar with the provisions of the REGULATIONS, as they are subject to penalties for violations of such REGULATIONS. CHAPTER 1: AUTHORITY SECTION AUTHORITY TO CREATE TRAFFIC AND PARKING REGULATIONS The Board of Trustees of the FHDA Community College District is authorized pursuant to Section of the California Vehicle Code to set forth conditions and regulations pertaining to the operation and parking of vehicles or bicycles, or the conveyance of animals upon the grounds of all Foothill, De Anza, and Sunnyvale campuses. 1

2 SECTION AUTHORITY TO CREATE/MAINTAIN A DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMENT In accordance with the California Education Code and the California Penal Code, all of the general and criminal laws of the District and State are declared to be in full force and effect within areas under the jurisdiction of this District. The Board of Trustees is authorized to employ District Police for the purpose of enforcing those laws. SECTION 1.20 EMERGENCY AUTHORITY DISTRICT CHIEF OF POLICE The District Police Chief may exercise the authority to amend or create regulations, as circumstances require. Citations may be issued to any person violating any temporary sign, barricade, marking, lawful order, or regulation. CHAPTER 2: ENFORCEMENT SECTION AUTHORITY OF DISTRICT POLICE It shall be the duty of the members of District Police Departments and such persons as are authorized by the Chief, to enforce all of the provisions of the REGULATIONS and California Vehicle Code in a manner authorized by the California Education, Penal and Vehicle Codes. Illegally parked vehicles are also subject to towing in the manner prescribed by and under authority of Sections et seq., of the California Vehicle Code. SECTION VIOLATIONS Violators of REGULATIONS or California Vehicle Code sections are subject to being cited into the appropriate court of jurisdiction in accordance with the applicable provisions of law. SECTION APPEALS The issuance of a citation is considered to be prima facie evidence that a violation has occurred. Therefore, the only proper basis for an appeal of a citation is that the cited section was not violated. Claims of lack of intent to violate regulations are not grounds for canceling a citation. Compliance with the instructions on the citations, therefore, becomes a matter between the individual and the appropriate court or other office of jurisdiction. The person receiving a parking citation as described above, may either pay the fine listed on the citation by following the printed instructions, or, may contest the citation by filing a written Administrative Review (Appeal) within 21 days through the office having jurisdiction. A full description of the 3-step appeals process can be found at 2

3 SECTION 2.30 INDIGENT STATUS PAYMENT PLANS (AB503) It is the policy of FHDA Community College District that the registered owner (CVC 460 & 505) or person responsible for parking citations, who qualify for indigent status, shall be allowed to enroll in a payment plan. This policy is in response to changes made to the California Vehicle Code as a part of Assembly Bill 503 (CA Vehicle Code 40220). Any citations associated with the vehicle, registered owner, or person responsible may be included in the payment plan at the time of enrollment. If additional citations are issued while a payment plan is in place, the plan will not be modified to include the new citations, nor will a concurrent payment plan be offered. Citations in a payment plan will not be used toward immobilization/tow/impound (booting) requirements pursuant to CVC 22651(i)1. Individuals who meet one or more of the following determinations of indigence will be approved for special processing as required by CVC Any of the following financial situations meet the requirements for approval: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and State Supplementary Payment (SSP). California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids Act (CalWORKs) or a federal Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF). Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or the California Food Assistance Program (CalFresh). County Relief, General Relief (GR), or General Assistance (GA). Cash Assistance Program for Aged, Blind, and Disabled Legal Immigrants (CAPI). In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). An applicant whose monthly income is 125 percent or less of the current federal poverty guidelines Payment plans must be set-up at the FHDA District Police Department during regular business hours (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM) BY APPOINTMENT ONLY (call for appointment). The form to apply for the Indigent Payment Plan can be obtained from the FHDA Police Department website at: or inperson at either the Foothill or De Anza Police Stations. If an applicant's indigent status is found to have been willfully fraudulent, his or her fines and fee reduction shall be overturned and the full amount of fines and fees shall be restored. The fee to enroll in the Indigent Payment Plan is five dollars ($5.00). Payment plans will allow the payment of unpaid parking fines and fees to be paid off in monthly installments of no more than twenty-five dollars ($25), for total amounts due that are three hundred dollars ($300) or less. However, unpaid parking fines and fees shall be paid off within 18 months. There shall be no prepayment penalty for paying off the balance prior to expiration of the payment plan period. 3

4 An approved payment plan waives all late fees and penalty assessments, exclusive of any state surcharges described in Sections 70372, 76000, and of the Government Code, if an indigent person enrolls in the payment plan. Waived late fees and penalty assessments may be reinstated if the person falls out of compliance with the payment plan. Applications for indigence determination / payment plans must be received within 60 calendar days from the issuance of the most recent parking violation, or 10 days after the administrative hearing determination, whichever is later. The registered owner or lessee who fails to enroll in the payment plan within the time specified in the notice, or who is not eligible for the payment plan because he or she is not indigent, will not be approved. When a registered owner or lessee falls out of compliance with the payment plan, a onetime extension of 45 calendar days (from the date the plan becomes delinquent) will be given before the payment plan is cancelled and a DMV hold is initiated. Payments must be made each calendar month. No invoices or payment reminders will be sent. Once a payment date is set, there is no grace period for late payments. Payments cannot be made on-line. All payments will be due by the 5th day of each month. For mailed payments, a postmark is acceptable to meet this requirement. Payments must be mailed to: Citation Services Center PO Box Irvine, CA This policy shall not affect individual campus procedures for using the Franchise Tax Board, or the student hold process for fee collection. 4
